Up, Up & Away


Up and out bright and early for our helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. Best money we ever spent was the extra $$ to be in the front seats. There are no words to adequately explain the experience of soaring over the Grand Canyon. (Insert your favorite adjective here.) It was a beautiful day for a flight....no clouds....no turbulence....just perfect. 

We met a retired couple who have sold their business, home, everything and bought an RV that they travel in around the country full time. They stay in different locations until they get tired of that place and then move on. Sounds interesting....but where do they keep their stuff?



Today was also a day to relax and rejuvenate. We're here for 2 nights and need this time. At first we considered a short hike along one of the rim trails but after our walk back to the hotel (uphill) from lunch decided that was enough hiking for us flat-landers. We did a little driving around the park with the top down (thanks to the luggage being in the hotel) and watched another Grand Canyon sunset. This time from the hotel porch overlooking the Canyon. Today we only drove 23 miles (the car is breathing a sigh of relief) and saw 2 Corvettes.
